Built by an operator.

I’m Zack Kirby. I run operations for about 30 restaurants, and I built my own tools to do it.

When you call, you talk to me.

I’m Director of Operations over about 30 quick-service restaurants, 10+ years in. Nothing off the shelf fit how a real shift runs, so I built my own.

Elevera is how I build them for owners like you, from Fort Wayne, Indiana.

How it goes

  1. You book the call.

    30 minutes, nothing to buy.

  2. I build it.

    On a website, you see your homepage before you pay anything.

  3. I keep it running.

    Hosted and kept up to date, month to month.

Fair questions

Will my managers actually use it?

They don’t have to learn anything new. The tools work through texts, calendars and group chats they already have, with nothing new to log in to.

Is there a contract?

No. Everything is month to month, and you can cancel with 30 days’ notice.

I run more than 5 locations.

Tools are priced per store, so they scale with you. Reviews for bigger groups get quoted on the first call.

What if you can’t help?

If I can’t help, I’ll say so and point you to who can.

Tell me what eats your week.

I’ll email you back to set a time, usually within one business day.

Founding clients. The first 3 clients get 25% off every monthly price for 12 months. Ask for a founding spot
